This doesn't even mention anywhere that the seasons are pushed back from what it says directly on the leaderboards on the game. How is that fair to have players wait more days when they are under the impression it ends today?

Then tell us earlier, please. This whole ranking thing has been driving players mad and nervous, some people even transferred servers (l o l) and resorted to cheats, just end this season so the suffering can end with it.
I just want to take a nice summer break and you guys keep delaying it, ahhh

Due to the storm that has come out of the Leaderboards and the fact that we don't have maintenance this week, there are a burning question which need answerings now, not tomorrow on stream.

When does Leaderboards Season 2 start? This week? Or next week?

If Season 2 starts next week, then we don't have to worry about Season 2 rewards being abused because the exploits will have supposedly been fixed. However, that then gives another week of Season 1 for the ranks to change.

If Season 2 starts this week, then we have to worry about the Season 2 rewards because that would give exploiters until maitenance next week to rank for Season 2 and have no-one be able to come close due to exploits.

You honestly can't just not notify any player base about this and have everyone under the impression that it ends today from what it says directly on the game. Imagine if I signed a contract for 8/9 to purchase a condo and the day arrives and I'm like "oh, I don't get paid until the 14th, sorry!" It doesn't just work like that. You don't just cover up a mistake like it was common knowledge.
